I just read in the Naperville Sun that the Pizza Fusion on 75th Street closed. I'm a little shocked because I thought the food was very good, it had a good hook (organic, gluten free etc), a great location, pretty interior and adequate parking. So why did it close. We were there about a month ago and it was packed on a Friday or Saturday night. It wasn't a big space and probably that was a problem, but frankly it looked like it would do well.
It is one thing to say that a hook like being organic and all might not work in Naperville. But thereshould be enough people that will go for that. Naperville isn't a very trendy eating city (OK, it isn't trendy at all). The important point to me was although it was a nice hook, but the food was very good. I have a taste for a PF pizza right now.
So I doubt it was for lack of business or a bad location. I can only assume either Naperville can't really support a place like this or some bad business management. It is too bad, it was a cute, fun restaurant with good food. I'll miss it.

We just discovered Pizza Fusion a couple months ago, and were disappointed when we went there this evening and saw the "closed -- out of business" sign in the door.
ReplyDeleteWe were there a few weeks ago on a Monday evening, and at about 6pm we were the only people there -- our guess is that they just weren't busy enough to pay the rent.
Meatheads next door did seem to be packed tonight. ..
I assume they went out of business due to the high cost of getting everything done eco-friendly, as we ordered out from there nearly weekly and every time we went to pick up there was a decent crowd. The upfront costs of starting the biz were probably too high for a restaurant...that is a tough business to be in.
ReplyDeleteHmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I'm thoroughly
